It's a pity! I sometimes have to prepare test data from existing data. In the left pane I have a large file of real data. In the right pane I want to have a subsetof the real data somewhat transformed to use in test cases. A boring task. Before sublime I solved it with keyboard macros.

As sublime does not support it I now have to do a lot of copy and paste between panes and after that transform the data with a macros. Too bad I can't easily move my selection with the mouse from one pane to the other and too bad that macros don't realy support find.

To me the intended use of a keyboard macro will be a task of this kind: record, use and forget. I never saved such macros for reuse, they were oneway macros. And there will be no time to implement a oneway plugin

I assume it is no simple matter to enhance the concept of macros. So every two or three month I will suffer this annoying weakness of sublime for an hour. After this joy is comming back.

Well, I have winedt (an editor especially for latex, very very good!!) and sublime text side by side, and on top of that I have autohotkey (excellent!!) that lets me do all sorts of automations using key- and mouse presses.. it's a workaround to that..
